freeDimensional in Cairo

freeDimensional facilitated two youth - Fatima from Iraq & Abdel Salem from Sudan - to participate in the Adobe Youth Voices workshop on Culture & Identity with 15 other Egyptian participants, thereby creating a mini-time capsule of their impressions living in Egypt (outside of their own country) and in relation to the IHSPH time capsule of immigrant youth who have moved to New York City from over 40 countries.

Additonally, freeDimensional worked with Cardboard Citizens and Creative Exchange to conduct a playback theatre workshop with a group of Sudanese and Egyptian youth.

Lastly, freeDimensional facilitated a relationship between one of the theatre trainees, Ronald Reagan, a Sudanese refugee and his music and theatre group, VIP, and Actors for Refugees in order to present a monologue on the theme of 'exile' for the 11th International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) Conference in Cairo in January 2008.
